We received this update from A Partnership in Caring Volunteer Lynn MacDonald in Rwanda:
On our way back from Kampala, Uganda, we stopped off at Tubahumurize, a women’s cooperative to pick up our order of beautiful crafts. We were greeted by founder Jeanne Mwiriliza, who was kind enough to share with us information on this wonderful grass roots organization.
